It rides better than stock I think. Depending on what winch and bumper but I would say the Heavy springs would be what your looking for if you got the heavy bumpers, etc
The only complaint I have about them is the bow I have . Its just a cosmetic thing so far but working on getting a fix for it. Not saying that you will have a bow, most dont, but it is possible.

I have 33's and the ride is better than stock was with 28s or 265/75/16s(about 32's).
And as far as rubbing with 35's ARB reccomends you run longer bumpstops, so assuming you where running stock, then thats probably why you rubbed.
Dont get me wrong, nothing wrong with the RE 3.5 I dont guess, other than RE being way over priced......

I know tons of people running OME lifts and love them. Of course this is on a Taco so it could be different. Hell I plan on running an OME Coil lift on my truck.

The ride with the OME 2" was better than the Daystar 1.75" I had on it before. Then I put on Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers and HOLY CRAP what a great ride! I have yet to get it out on the trails, but I am expecting great things.

North Ridge is showing two OME kits
a 2.5 hd with steering stablizer. and a OME lift kit with full traction front & rear adjustable track package (no lift size on North Ridge site shown). any additional input on this would be helpful I'm running stock 255/75r/17. my original reason for the lift was the additional of a 90lb bumper and a warn power plant, also a steel rear bumper.

I had the longer bump stops it rubbed on my mopar rock rails at the back it needs longer upper and lower control arms to work with the 35's i didnt see the point and it was a harsh ride worse than stock i thought but our road over here arent exactly the best even free ways are rubbish but i found the RE kit to much better alot softer Im happier with RE kit it was the cheapest 3.5 lift with control arms over here well prob cause i am good customer of the guy i bought it from

I went with the HD kit I used the information from our site and several others input. They are going on this weekend, I'll post updates after running the kit for 500 miles.
